We have a new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so much fun! I am so happy! You guys should have seen my reaction. I could not contain myself. I write to you guys in this library thing and the lady came over and got really mad at me becuase I was screaming. What a blessed family we are!!!! He would never take way the ones we love and He just keeps adding to us!!! I think that is too fun!! What a privilege it is to fall in love again with a little baby boy. God really is good to us. I could not stop crying all day. I am in love with him and with all of you and I just get cornier by the minute. But you all have to admit it. God is good! He gives me this beautifrul family with parents and siblings that I love with all of my heart! But then He makes it better because it keeps growing with adorable sister-in-laws and someday a brother-in-law and then cute babies. And then to top it all off He promises me that these angels that he has blessed me with will be mine forever through the love and power of His son´s atonement. What a great plan!! That is the kind of hope and joy He wanted us to have and it is sweet! I was absolutely filled today with the joy of having a new little member, the hope of having again the ones we have lost in this life, and the reality of an eternal family on the other side of the world! That is fun! And then He keeps making it better by giving me this message to share with other people.
We have a menos activo that is just not progressing and it is frustrating because they should. She knows it is true. She just seems to be full of fear and maybe a little case of laziness. Her name is MC. I have written about her before her and her family have been menos activos for a long time. She has two daughters who live close and who also have children of their own who have not been baptized. The daughter looked at me and said 'but if I don´t go to church that does not make me a bad person right?' And suddenly it all made sense to me. I told her our story ... They already know that Lauren passed away. I told them our story more about how we always went to church to help us become closer and obviously it helped us a lot. And thanks to the protection we got from things like the temple, the Book of Mormon and church when cancer came it did not knock us down because we were built on the most important material, our faith in Jesus Christ. I started telling them of the magic that is us! I told them about how dad always gives the council I need at the specific week that I needed it, or how mom always testifies of the specific points of doctrine that I was doubting that week. Or how absolutely happy it makes me when my siblings are happy and cared for. It is something magical that does not come from just a normal heart. It is something so real that it has to come from a loving God who has all power and understands things a lot better than us! I certainly did not know how to love you guys this much ... this had to come from a different Divine source!! It left them speechless!! he he he he he! They still don´t want to come to church though. bummer!
Okay enough about you guys;). This week was crazy! I was packing and writing letters all week and saying goodbye. I was sure I was out! We knew the news was going to be spread on Friday and on Friday when everyone had been told about changes I could not take it anymore and I called the zone leaders! They told me I did not have changes!! I was pretty excited! I screamed and made the twins hug me like ten times! (We were in P´s house waiting for the news.) It was funny because all of the people we visit were saying there was no way that we were out. They were all saying that I was going to stay. So when P__ walked in and I told her the news she shaid "viste!!" That means 'see!! I told you!' (Basically!) I was pretty happy! I did not want to say goodbye. The bad news is Hermana Bohman did get kicked out. She is going for a whitewash in Puente Alto. She was pretty nervous but excited (Kind of like that song called nervous but excited;)) So I am still in Apoquindo to finish training my dear hija Hermana Paolantonio.
Other than that things continue to go swimmingly. C_ is preparing to enter the temple so she can take her husband, and her sons name to the temple and watch them get baptized. C_ and his family could not be any cuter. We are going to be with them all week this week because we are getting ready for two baptisms, and we have found some new investigators that I am really excited about. Life is just good! I continue to learn how true the scripture is that says that if we ask he will give it to us! It is so true! God wants us to use Him! He wants us to go to Him with our problems. Like Hermana Wright said, 'in our weakness we find our greatest strength becuase it is when we finally go to Him!!' I love that!! I love that He really responds in the way we need it and even though it is not always this way it is usually so fast! He loves us! It feels so good to know he is watching over not just me but all of the people here that I love so much!! I hope you guys ask Him always! He is the best protector, the best psycologist, the best teacher and the best friend we could ever have! It is fun to realize that and even funner to realize that He does the same for all of you that I love so freaking much!! I love you all!! Thanks for the fun news this week. We are blessed!!
LOVE!
Hermana Webb
